All our assessments are taken online and comprise many different questions types, including; multiple choice, free text, pick list, matching list, fill in the blank, essay, order list, matrix and true/false.

Assessments are timed and results show a combination of time and accuracy. It's easy to administer and use and includes automated marking with helpful user feedback and coaching notes, to deliver actionable training needs analysis with configurable links to e-learning resources and training courses.
